I think definitely the case with Clark starting. The real question (since we haven't seen ether of them in a real NFL game) is whether or not one of those other two will start and if they do, will they still be starting by the end of the year. Hopefully one plays well enough to do so. I expect Overshown gets the first crack with the rookie seeing some nickel snaps. However, I also think it is possible Micah "starts" (ie plays some run downs there) at LBer this year which means Micah, Kendricks and Clark possibly starting. I'd guess Micah probably plays 20% of his 1st and 2nd down snaps as a LBer.
Sean Lee back to helping Cowboys does my heart good!
now days mostly in the hood where their told to go outside and play.
While the Cowboys were resting on Thursday, defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer used part of his media availability to touch on what he’s seen from Mazi Smith so far. Zimmer specifically referenced reports from some that Smith hasn’t looked great this year and offered his strong disagreement, going on to praise the first round pick from a year ago.
I will never understand that high pick on Luke.
I think Kendricks and Clark if we start with two LB's on the field and Overshown will be out there in passing situations. The ND LB start by next year. Really such a better looking group overall, very excited to see them all
We sure as Hell need him to step up. Desperately
12 years of 2nd round picks… a few damn good ones and a whole lot of ”questionable” ones.
Simple. Need vs BPA. Always a crap shoot when you do it that way
I personally didnt think of it as a need though. Also I cant stand us drafting TEs in the 2nd round. We dont have a good track record.
I thought they drafted some good TE in the second round. Bennett was a good TE. The problem i had is they would draft them and then never use them because they already had a good number 1. Escobar was the only one guy I thought was going to be a bust as soon as we drafted him. His college tape sucked. Schoonmaker is looking like another total bust. I do know there were others besides me that liked Ferguson coming out. Why these fools thought Schoonmaker was needed was beyond me. Ferguson immediately showed up his rookie year with that alpha mentality.
It was definitely talked about as a need throughout the entire period leading up to the draft. Schultz had just left and our two rookies had a combined 25 catches
It was a need, but I thought it would be Porta. Big mistake not taking him. Everyone said, Luke was a reach.
I liked all 4 guys taken before him. Then I would have waited. was dumb to force it. Take one in the first, trade up, or pass. This team pretends they draft BPA but every year lately they just go through needs one by one unless a glaring player drops. That is what happens when you don’t fill needs in free agency. With how well they have drafted in general, I can only imagine how well they would do if they just let the scouts pick the best guy
Honestly if both do "ok", that probably means they are doing their job and that our run defense will be better with the other changes we are making. I still say if need be we can add a player there, although we have a huge need at Edge and only added two vet minimum guys, so...
Hoffman appears to be the front runner at Center. It is looking like Beebe and Bass will be the backups in the interior . That is some serious back up talent. I see both Bass and Beebe as being much more than backups in the NFL
